Small LCD module,character

Morning,
I've got a project that has a 2x8 Optrex LCD, and I could really use a 2x16 in it's place. My problem is the board size only allows a module that measures 60 mm wide by 35 high maximum. It has to be OEM, not surplus, and I'd prefer not to get started with a graphic board.
Any ideas???

Thanks,
Ron

Ron Marcus, Do a search for chip on glass displays. I don't know what your housing looks like but the chip on glass displays are about as small as you can get. Most of them are not backlit.

Excellent link Ralph, thanks...

OK, I got a couple of "Dogs" to play with... It uses the ST7036 driver. My first question is: Is this compatible with LCD out in PBP, and has anyone used the serial input function instead of using up six PIC pins? Any tips?

Ron,

I haven't tried the DOGs yet, but

the controller is supposed to be HD44780 compatible, so it should work with LCDout.

In serial mode it should work anyway.
